Alain Pernot & Manou Zurini

Car Racing 1971 is every bit a worthy successor in the tradition established by the six previous tomes of the Car Racing series (1965 to 1970). It is still through treasures unearthed from the archives of the DPPI photographic agency that this book offers, for the title year, a unique experience of immersion in the atmosphere of 1970s motorsport. Created in 1965 by a group of photographers fascinated by the fury of the track and the bravura of drivers, DPPI has always gone where the action is. This proximity resulted in incredible action photos, unimaginable today. ‘This is not an umpteenth book on the history of motorsport,’ insists DPPI director Fabrice Connen. ‘In every case, we favored the strongest, most unusual pictures or those that best recreated the atmosphere of the time, even if they were taken at minor events or depicted less famous competitors.’

Greetings from Montreal. A quick note about 2 significant Ferrari Sports Racers to be produced in 1/18 scale by Tecnomodel. Above: The Ferrari 300P introduced in 1965. Five versions have been announced. Below: The Ferrari Dino 196S from 1959. Six versions, including the 1960 Targa Florio #172, driven by Pedro and Riccardo Rodriguez seen here.

The Advance Order Deadline is Thursday, June 26. Details HERE.

TSM / Top Speed will produce the #93 Acura ARX-06 GTP of Acura Meyer Shank Racing in its 2025 IMSA Daytona 24 H livery in both 1/18 and 1/43 scale.

TSM Model will also produce 5 different models of Lamborghini, Nissan and Mazda road and race cars in 1/43 scale for release later this year.

TopSpeed will round out their June list of 1/18 scale resin replicas with an updated version of the #9 Pfaff Motorsports Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO2 that replaces the 2025 Sebring version announced previously, the #32 Mercedes-AMG GT3 EVO from this year’s IMSA 24 Hours of Daytona, the #888 Mercedes-AMG GT3 EVO from the 2025 Bathurst 12 Hour, a McLaren 720S LB*Works in Gem Red and an Abarth 595.

Tecnomodel will produce 1/18 limited edition resin models of 3 Formula 1 cars from the 1980s and 1990s, including the ‘Tower Wing’ Jordan Honda 198 seen above. Other subjects include the March 881 and Larrousse Lola LC88. Four variations of each will be produced later this year.

Advance order deadline is June 6, 2025. Details HERE.

IXO America has delivered their first batch of 1/18 scale diecast 2025 Indy Cars. 3 Road / Street course versions seen earlier this year and 3 Super Speedway versions (Santino, Larson & Marco) in their Indianapolis 500 liveries are in stock. Great quality with a low $79.95 price point and with non-Chinese production, not subject to massive tariff up charges if the current thaw takes us back to the brink. Additional cars and drivers (including Palou) are expected soon. 

You can pre-order the entire line HERE.

TSM / TopSpeed have issued their first major new product announcements since the tariff war exploded earlier this Spring, making it virtually impossible to set firm pricing on anything produced anywhere outside the US, especially China, where most quality diecast and resin models are produced.

Most of the prices on the 1/12 scale TSM Ducati motorcycles, 1/18 TopSpeed and 1/43 TSM racing and sports cars listed include the 145% tariff on China exports currently in effect. Almost certainly, that number will change several times before these models arrive in the US, where and when the tariffs will be collected so we expect the final pricing of these models to reflect those changes. Most of the extra cost is being absorbed by the manufacturer, distributors and dealers but bottom line is that models will cost more until this game of chicken ends.

If you’re not comfortable ordering under these circumstances, I truly understand. No one in this business is happy about what’s going on.

It’s not just flashing, snarling Porsche cars that racing photographer Rainier W. Schlegelmilch captures in these shots from 1963 to 1988 – though his zoom effect lifts them dramatically off the page. It’s his story over the years, it’s the reality of the track, drivers’ conversations, mechanics’ dirty hands. Feel the vibrations and smell the oil!
